Laura Turba , BACP

Laura Turba is a qualified counsellor and children's counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who works in a person-centred way that adapts to each client and the pace they are ready for. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Laura has supported people across a wide range of ages, backgrounds and presenting issues while working with several different agencies.

She regularly uses score-related assessments to track progress and tailoring, and has focused experience in areas such as suicide and self-harm prevention, sexual abuse and childhood trauma. Her training and clinical work have prepared her to address some of the most challenging issues clients bring to therapy. Laura prioritises the client in every step of the process, helping people work through difficult life experiences at a level and speed that feels manageable.

Known for a flexible approach to scheduling, she recognises the demands of family and work and welcomes conversations about any concerns related to starting or maintaining therapy. Her goal is to support healing and to hold clients in a way that helps them feel supported as they move through change.

Person-Centred and Trauma-Focused Care Online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. It focuses on empathy, active listening and adapting to the client's pace, helping with issues such as low self-esteem, relationship challenges and general life transitions. Trauma-Focused Therapy targets healing from past traumatic events by helping clients process painful memories and develop coping strategies for symptoms related to abuse, childhood trauma or self-harm history. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve emotional regulation, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with difficult emotions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Laura will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she will adjust the focus over time as progress is made. This is a joint process guided by the client's priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. Working with licensed professionals remotely makes it easier to access consistent support from home, while accommodating family, work and other commitments.
